The Northern Continent is a large landmass north in the Land of the Living in the Fourth Age. It formed after the Catastrophe and encompasses the former Third Age regions of Northern Remon, Maar Sul, Scundia, Libaterra, and Yamato.
Regions[]
The Northern Continent is divided into three large regions which are Western Northern Continent, Central Northern Continent, and Eastern Northern Continent.
Western Northern Continent[]
The Western Northern Continent contains a large mountain range, tundra and arctic forests. It is rumored to contain the ancient dwarf homelands named the Kingdom of Drithenspire although no news have been heard if the dwarves of Drithenspire survived the Catastrophe and the invasion of the Wretched undead.
The kingdoms of East Maar Sul and West Maar Sul briefly formed a truce in the Maar Sulais civil war to build a wall at the mountain range separating the former area of Northern Remon from Maar Sulais grasslands. The land beyond the wall contains the roaming undead whom both nations have deemed a greater threat to humanity.
Kingdoms[]
Currently known sovereign states of the Western Northern Continent include (clockwise from the west):
- Kingdom of Drithenspire (speculated)
Central Northern Continent[]
The Central Northern Continent contains a large grasslands to the west named the Khitan Steppes which is rumored to contain the Khitan Khanate. The central areas are divided between the Kingdoms of West Maar Sul and East Maar Sul while the Kingdom of Scundia lies in the southeast. There is a possibility that, due to the costly Maar Sulais civil war, some small princedoms or smaller city-states might exist here and there beyond Maar Sulais rule.
